Many of the programs and ma- terials we offer are newly developed, and we are eager to introduce them to teachers in public, private, and home schools across the United States. Our collection includes more than 450 Old Master paintings, spanning the 14th through the 19th centuries. Noted artists from Italy, Spain, France, England, Germany, and the Netherlands are all represented. M&G’s collection also includes Russian icons with representative works from the 14th through the 20th centuries. There are also more than 1,000 antiquities in the collection, displayed on a rotating basis. These objects span 37 centuries and include representative works from Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Roman, and Hebrew cultures as well as representative samples from late Gothic through the 19th century. This title is one of the many means we are providing to help you introduce your students to these great masterworks and marvelous artifacts. As you scan the guide, you will see Roman numerals under the lesson titles. This information refers to the National Visual Arts Content Standards, which have been designed to improve student literacy in the fine arts. The Roman numerals represent the content standard the lesson fulfills. A de- tailed overview of these standards for all grade levels can be found at: http:// www.myscschools.com/offices/cso/standards/vpa/documents/vpa_standards.pdf. In addition to guides like this one, we also offer teacher seminars, special lectures, and numerous student programs and activities. On-site tours for elementary, junior/senior high school, and college level students are also available. For more information, visit www.bjumg.org or contact M&G at 864-770-1331.

Family Treasure These books were so rare and expensive that they would be passed down through the family as a treasured memory. C. Why were illuminated manuscripts so expensive? 1. The books took a long time to make. 2. The books were handmade, not mass- produced. The invention of the printing press (c. 1450) was not yet in wide use. (See Unit 3, Lesson 3, “Book Binding.”) 3.

    This walking tour focuses primarily on Middle Ages Paris, but it begins at the beginning, in the place where Paris originated on the Ile de la Cité. The walk ends atop Mount Sainte-Geneviève on the Left Bank. In between, the tour winds through the narrow medieval streets of the Ancient Cloister Quarter on the Ile de la Cité and the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank. It includes Notre- Dame, the Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle, three of the the city’s most famous Gothic buildings. The walk also encompasses some less well known but no less interesting places including the church of Saint-Séverin and the Hôtel de Cluny, the former Paris residence of the wealthy abbots of Cluny. It’s now a wonderful Middle Ages museum. Stops at the Sorbonne, at the charmingly eclectic church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and at a remnant of Philippe II’s medieval city wall round out the picture of Paris in the Middle Ages. Start: Petit Pont (Métro: Saint-Michel) Finish: Medieval City Wall (Métro: Cardinal Lemoine) Distance: 2 miles Time: 4 - 5 hours Best Days: Wednesday - Monday Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Louis IX, “Saint-Louis” (1226-1270), was known for his religious piety (some Politics and Economics say neuroticism) and charity, as well as for his intolerance and anti-Semitism. He built Sainte-Chapelle for his daily devotions and to house his religious relics. At the beginning of the Middle Ages (around 500 AD) the area known to the Romans as Gaul and known today as France, was a dangerous, ungoverned Philippe IV “The Fair” (1285-1314) rebuilt the French legal structure.

    H-Urban Spear on Roux, 'Paris in the Middle Ages' Review published on Thursday, October 1, 2009 Simone Roux. Paris in the Middle Ages. Translated by Jo Ann McNamara. Middle Ages Series. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009. Map, table. xvi + 249 pp. $29.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8122-4159-4. Reviewed by David Spear (Furman University)Published on H-Urban (October, 2009) Commissioned by Alexander Vari An Urban History of Paris in the Middle Ages It is hard to imagine a city that has exerted a more constant influence on Western history than Paris. Rome, perhaps--but Rome's ancient legacy and clerical culture made it difficult, if not impossible, to emulate. Paris--the medieval reinvention of the Roman city of Lutetia--was an urban success and served as a model for others. Paris, unlike London and many other medieval cities, never had a Charter of Liberties. But the intersection of the French monarchy, the first university, an elite bourgeoisie, artisans, day laborers, and even marginalized segments of the population coalesced to give Paris a unique identity, admired by many, and certainly worth study for those who want to know how this urban phenomenon came to be. Simone Roux, professor of history emerita at the University of Paris-X, Nanterre, is the author of Paris in the Middle Ages. Among her many publications, Roux has written one book, La rive gauche des escholiers, (XV siècle) (1992), and several articles, specifically on medieval Paris. Originally published in 2003 as Paris au Moyen Age, this English version sums up her observations both for scholars and for the educated public.

    HISTORIC PARIS ROLL OR STROLL from Notre-Dame to the Pont Neuf

    HISTORIC PARIS ROLL OR STROLL From Notre-Dame to the Pont Neuf Paris has been the cultural capital of Europe for centuries. We’ll start where it did, on Ile de la Cité, with a foray onto the Left Bank, on a tour that laces together 80 generations of history: from Celtic fish- ing village to Roman city, bustling medieval capital, birthplace of the Revolution, bohemian haunt of the 1920s café scene, and the working world of modern Paris. Allow four hours to do justice to this three-mile tour. If the distance seems too long, break it into pieces to make it more manageable. Stops along this tour have varying degrees of accessibility (as noted). Skip those portions that do not suit your mobility level, and move on to the next stop. THE TOUR BEGINS • Start at Notre-Dame Cathedral on the island in the River Seine, the physical and historic bull’s-eye of your Paris map. To get there, take a taxi or ride the Métro to Cité, Hôtel de Ville, or St. Michel and roll or stroll to the big square facing the cathedral. NOTRE-DAME • On the square in front of the cathedral, get far enough back to take in the whole facade. Look at the circular window in the center. For centuries, the main figure in the Christian “pantheon” has been Mary, the mother of Jesus. Catholics petition her in times of trouble to gain comfort, and to ask her to convince God to be compassionate with 08_RSEZA06_HistParis.indd 290 3/16/06 9:53:23 AM Historic Paris Roll or Stroll 291 Historic Paris Roll or Stroll 08_RSEZA06_HistParis.indd 291 3/16/06 9:53:25 AM 292 Rick Steves’Easy Access Europe them.
